About Adaptive Firearms Institute LLC

Adaptive Firearms is unique because of our scientific approach to weapon and body manipulation. We are constantly reviewing training techniques and "doctrine" to determine a more scientific approach, based on how our body reacts to stress and how we utilize the body to be more bio-mechanically proficient. The courses we offer are designed to prepare the responsible adult gun owner or operator to handle their weapons in a safe and effective manner under all circumstances including under pressure. Shooting techniques and tactics are constantly changing. Adaptive Firearms focuses on the weapon manipulation, kinesiology and neuro science as it pertains to gun fighting. We believe the shooter must constantly evolve and adapt to constantly changing environments and threats.

Amazing instructors! These guys brought a lot of experience to the range. I was a bit intimidated at first since I don't have too much experience firing a weapon. Ryan and his crew were very professional and patient with us newbies. They really make you feel confident! I highly recommend taking any and all classes they offer for gun safety!!!

Fantastic group of professionals. Ryan and team take the time to explain why they teach what they teach and add a personal touch for each student. By far the best and safest firearms courses I have taken. Instructors make the class very informative and educational but fun and engaging. Adaptive is the premier firearms institution. Get the training you need for the moments we all hope never come. Stay safe

Not only was this course full of information but it was also physically tasking.. I have Always been Athletic but this definitely pushed me..
